March 16th Weekly Post

 
Hello and Happy Sunday!
We had great weather this week, which was good because we started some repair work here at Casa Winans. Having workmen under foot all week took some getting used to! And more for the week ahead, but it has to be done. I'm just thankful that so far I haven't had to move any art supplies or creating areas!
The theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art is Bloom and Grow, hosted by Peggy.
I have an Artistic Outpost stamp set named Bloom & Grow, so I used the seed packet frame, the flowers and the sentiment from it. For the 4x6 background, I sponged on Mustard Seed Distress Ink, then Wild Honey DI through a TH Hive Layering Stencil. After that dried, I got out my bees from various stamp companies and stamped them all over the background with Versafine Clair ink. I edged the card with a brown marker. I stamped the frame and then the flowers on some scrap ivory yellow paper, colored the flowers with Promarkers, stamped bees around it, and then fussy cut the frame to adhere. The bottom horizontal strip was cut out of brown scrap using a Spellbinders Torn Edge Rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it using a Spellbinders Fancy Labels die and adhered both to the card.

This is a card made for our mail lady.
SU card base, Prima Melody collection designer papers, mats cut using Spellbinders Labels 2 dies, images and sentiments are from Katy Sue Designs Decoupage kit, and 3 pink rhinestones to finish.
And here is the sketch that I used.

This is a card that I made a brother-in-law.
SU and Basic Grey card stocks, Junkitz designer papers, Impression Obsession bird dies, MFT stamped sentiments on Amazon Nested Arch die cuts (2 used as sentiment strips and the largest is a frame for the focal image). The focal image was created with stamps from Creative Stamping Magazine issue 86 and colored with Promarkers and colored pencils.
 
And the sketch I used, rotating it to the left and then resizing it to 6x6.

This is a card I made for a girlfriend I've known since first grade.
I used an SU card base, Prima Sasha collection designer papers, Gemini oval and square torn edge dies, deckle edge deco scissors, a Lawn Fawn sentiment die and a Katy Sue Designs Decoupage kit floral image.
And the sketch that I used.
***********************
That's all for today.
I hope that your week ahead is a good one and I hope you'll join me again next Sunday!
